v11:
        - Dropped cleanup patches for other architectures, they will be
          submitted as a separate set after more testing.

        - Added patch set from Ard Biesheuvel that are needed to make
          the whole thing actually work.  Previously this was a
          separate set.

This series is out of date, unfortunately. The EFI init code is now
(as of v4.5-rc1) shared between ARM and arm64, which means that any
changes you make must be made on both sides. This applies to the split
between parsing the EFI dt nodes and performing the actual EFI init,
but also to the early_init_dt_add_memory_arch() changes. I am happy to
have a go at this, but first I need a clear statement from whoever
maintains that area that keeping memory nodes *just* for the
annotations (and otherwise ignore them) is the way forward (Rob?
Grant?)

Wasn't there the approach to check for consistency between efi tables
and devicetree? Thus, DT is actually not ignored but rather checked if
it is in sync with efi tables.
